Affordance, visibility, mapping, feedback and constraints

The course introduced the concept of affordance, visibility, mapping, feedback and constraints and its importance to interaction design. As a part of understanding above parameters, the class made a field visit to Regional Science Center, Guwahati, Assam in order to understand interactive installations, tangibility, material, physical-digital interfaces etc. Students were given assignment to choose any two installations, and identify good/bad parameters (affordance, visibility, mapping, feedback and constraints) specific to chosen installation.
